Benfica needed the help of a penalty and a red card as they came from behind to salvage a point in their Liga opener against Braga today. Salvio gave the hosts a 49th-minute lead early in the second half of the stand-out fixture of the league\'s opening weekend, but Lorenzo Melgarejo\'s own goal quickly brought Braga level. They then took a 63rd-minute lead through Marcio Mossoro, but Douglao was dismissed and Oscar Cardozo scored from the spot to earn a 2-2 draw for Benfica. In the day\'s other game, Joao Guilherme\'s 87th-minute goal was enough to earn Maritimo a 1-0 win away to Rio Ave. From : Fifa
